Just to be clear, no one thinks that they'll scrap the GPU. What Nvidia and we all say is that they'll rebrand it and launch it under a different name (and price). The questions is which name and what price.

To be honest, the 4090 may have been a success, but not everywhere. There are posts here and in other places telling that the cards had gone out of stock in a matter of minutes, but it's been three days and you can still find 4090 in many stores here in Spain. Not all models, mind you, but some from Inno3D, Gigabyte and Zotac are still available (evidence one and two).

So, either the supply was bigger here than in other places, which seems unlikely, or the demand for such pricey cards isn't as high as they thought.

You'd be surprised, there are normies and the ill-informed that believe some corps will scrap physical products, though all of us here know different.

Btw, while they claim they've sold their stock of 4090's, I assume they are referring to FE models?.

Maybe they have more supply in the EU than they do the US, though they aren't exactly being ultra specific of which regions are out of stock, but I guess them saying "we've sold our current stock" sounds better than "we've only sold out our current US stock, the EU remains stocked", wouldn't you say?.

I don't think Nvidia has said that they're sold out, only that the reception of the 4090 has been great, but I don't follow all their press releases or posts on social media. Nevertheless, it is very likely that they have run out of FE cards.

Somehow, I doubt they've send a bigger supply of 4090 to Europe. It's quite clear from the way they're priced the card that the USA is a more important market than Europe (or else how would you explain why they charge us more for them?), but even if that's the case, PC gaming in Spain isn't as big as in other European countries, with Germany coming on top, so one would think that we shouldn't get a big shipment. That's why I find it surprising that here, in Spain, we still have cards in stock is several stores.

But well, maybe we got a big first shipment and we'll be left behind on the next ones. Time will tell.
